What followed was two years of world travel, significant personal transformation, and rediscovery of our true essence.

Driving terrified me; I hadn't done it in a decade. But if I could drive in India, I could drive anywhere. If I drive a tuk-tuk, I could drive anything.

There was only one way to find out.

Vorgestern bin ich glücklich wieder hier angelangt, und gestern hat der feierliche Fronleichnamstag mich sogleich wieder zum Römer eingeweiht. Gern will ich gestehen, meine Abreise von Neapel machte mir einige Pein; nicht sowohl die herrliche Gegend als eine gewaltige Lava hinter mir lassend, die von dem Gipfel aus ihren Weg nach dem Meere zu nahm, die ich wohl hätte in der Nähe betrachten, deren Art und Weise, von der man so viel gelesen und erzählt hat, ich in meine Erfahrungen hätte mit aufnehmen sollen.

Heute begegnete mir ein angenehmes Abenteuer, welches mich wohl zu einigem Nachdenken bewegen konnte und des Erzählens wert ist. Eine Dame, die mich schon bei meinem ersten Aufenthalt vielfach begünstigt, ersuchte mich, abends Punkt fünf Uhr bei ihr einzutreffen: es wolle mich ein Engländer sprechen, der mir über meinen „Werther“ etwas zu sagen habe. Vor einem halben Jahre würde hierauf, und wäre sie mir doppelt wert gewesen, gewiss eine abschlägige Antwort erfolgt sein; aber daran, dass ich zusagte, konnte ich wohl merken, meine sizilianische Reise habe glücklich auf mich gewirkt, und ich versprach zu kommen.

Two Years Before the Mast is a book by the American author Richard Henry Dana, Jr., written after a two-year sea voyage starting in 1834 and published in 1840. While at Harvard College, Dana had an attack of the measles that affected his vision. Thinking it might help his sight, Dana, rather than going on a Grand Tour as most of his fellow classmates traditionally did (and unable to afford it anyway), and being something of a nonconformist, left Harvard to enlist as a common sailor.

Richard Henry Dana called this book a "a voice from the sea". It had an influence on both Joseph Conrad and Herman Melville, both of whom sang its praises. Dana was a law student at Harvard College who decided, in 1834, to take a break from his studies in order to experience the "real world" by signing on as a common sailor for a two year voyage from Boston around Cape Horn to California. He kept a journal which he turned into a book after the voyage.

Richard Henry Dana, a law student turned sailor for health reasons, sailed in 1834 aboard the brig Pilgrim on a voyage from Boston around Cape Horn to California. Drawing from his journals, Two Years Before the Mast gives a vivid and detailed account, shrewdly observed and beautifully described, of a common sailor's wretched treatment at sea, and of a way of life virtually unknown at that time.
